I had laptop-mode installed back during FC6 devel, but a few months ago (after acquiring a newer laptop with an again functional battery...) I noticed it had disappeared. Couldn't find it anywhere. It apparently split off into an independent project: http://www.samwel.tk/laptop_mode/laptop_mode And the only Fedora package for it is in Dries. The hd in this thing is VERY loud for some reason, (Near death? SMART claims its okay...) I tuned it up like so: LM_BATT_MAX_LOST_WORK_SECONDS=600 LM_AC_MAX_LOST_WORK_SECONDS=3600 LM_AC_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=40 LM_BATT_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=20 Which is highly effective at keeping the drive spun down, pretty much forever, when the system is idle and on AC, and the 20/40 spindown timeout seems to be just enough to prevent obnoxious yo-yoing. Now only if Galeon wouldn't constantly keep the drive spun up... (killall -STOP is my friend...)
